I'm considering joining the National Guard after a 14 year break from active duty and am looking for information regarding the process, but especially what PS-AIC is like. General knowledge and personal anecdotes are welcome. Can anyone help me out?

Wow, that's a long break in service. Have you talked with a recruiter yet? That would be the first place to start. Be mindful you would be coming into the ACFT, which is a lot different than the APFT. Wish you the best in your journey.

For general knowledge, your break was over five years, so you will go to BCT.
